The battle between the Lone Ranger and the Thunder is really full of twists and turns, thrilling. Let's not beat around the bush, let's just talk about this game!
At the beginning of the game, the Thunder team was like a chicken blood, and they fought so hard. On the Lone Ranger's side, although he is not to be outdone, he always feels a little worse. The score has been bitten tightly, and the hearts of the people have been raised to the throat. Just when everyone thought that this game was going to be so close, the Mavericks' young rookie Lively stepped up. He was like a tiger who had just woken up, and he immediately controlled the rhythm of the game. The rebounds were grabbed, and they were really more accurate than one another, and one was more ruthless than the other. The lone ranger looked at it here, ouch, this guy can do it!
Lively was not ambiguous, and threw the ball into the basket when he got it. Don't say it, he feels really good, one throw is accurate. Thunder looked at it, this can't work, and he has to find a way to restrain him. But Lavery is like a loach, slippery so slippery that you can't even touch the edge. In this way, Lively chased the Mavericks all the way, and the score slowly narrowed. In the final quarter, Lively played like a fish in water, and grabbing rebounds in the frontcourt was as easy as picking up vegetable leaves in his own backyard. The lone ranger looked at it, this young man could, and he directly stabilized the game.
In the end, the Mavericks narrowly defeated the Thunder 117-116 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals. In this game, Lively's performance can be said to be indispensable. He played 29 and a half points in the game, shooting 5-of-6 from the field, 2-of-3 from the free-throw line, scoring 12 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, with a plus/minus of +26! A look at the stats shows how well he played in this game.
After the game, Doncic also praised Lively without hesitation. He said: "Without Lively, we can't win this series!" As soon as you hear this, you know how much Doncic recognizes Lively Lyve. In this game, Doncic scored 29 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and got a triple-double in two consecutive games. Irving also had 22 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and 18 points in the second half, while Jones had 22 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, but Doncic saved the praise for Lively.
To be honest, I was really excited to watch this game. Lively's performance is simply a bright star, shining in the sky of the Mavericks. His toughness and fighting spirit also brought endless vitality and confidence to the whole team. In retrospect, it was a classic comeback. With the help of Lively, the Lone Ranger chased all the way and finally succeeded in counterattacking. It's not just a win in a game, it's an affirmation and encouragement to the young players. At the end of the game, the Mavericks grabbed 47 rebounds, 16 more than the Thunder, which was undoubtedly the key to the victory.
So, I feel like this game is not just an ordinary game, it's more like a movie full of passion and blood. Lively is the little person in this movie, he used his strength and fighting spirit to stage a wonderful basketball feast for us, and also proved to us that small people also have a big stage.
Overall, this game has shown me the potential and hope of the young players. Lively's performance also makes me look forward to the future of the Mavericks. I believe that he will continue to shine in the future games and bring more victories and honors to the team.
